1 - THE OPERATING PRINCIPLE
1.1. - Analogy with the transformer
An induction hob operates due to the electromagnetic properties of most containers used on traditional
hobs.
one can compare this hob with a transformer of which the secondary winding would have been
shorted. A significant internal current arises therein and causes quick heating.

The saucepan can be compared with a shorted set of concentric whose internal resistance is not zero.
From the function keys, you control the electrical power supply to the transformer primary winding
which generates a magnetic field. This field induces currents at the bottom of the container placed on
the hob. These induced currents heat the container immediately, which transmits the produced heat to
the food inside. Cooking is performed efficiently with almost no loss of energy. The appliance heating
power is pushed to its maximum.

1.2. - Skin effect
An induced current in a metallic mass will only cause significant heating if it flows through a significant
resistor (P=RI
2
). A ferrite saucepan has only low resistivity. This is where a second natural
phenomenon occurs, which is called ‘Skin effect’.
1.2.1. - Definition
The propagation of the high-frequency current is not performed in the same way as a direct current.
Contrary to direct current, where current flows with consistency in a conductor, in HF its density varies
and decreases exponentially as you move away from the conductor surface.
Example on copper wire supplied with high frequency
The current flows predominantly in wire periphery ‘e’. The decrease in
the effective cross-sectional area of the conductor causes an increase
in its resistance.
1.2.2. - Application
At a 20KHz frequency, and for a steel saucepan (magnetic ferritic material), the thickness of the
saucepan in which the induced currents flow is approximately 35 µm. This allows generating a current
in only a part of the saucepan bottom. The resistance becomes significant and the heating consequent
therein.
For a non-ferritic material, such as aluminium, the thickness is approximately 590 µm, the saucepan
behaves then as a quasi-zero resistor (short-circuit), which is prejudicial to electronics. The board will
take this discrepancy into account and will display the phenomenon by making the control panel flash.
Therefore, this type of material is not adapted.

2 - THE PERFORMANCES
2.1. - Compared efficiencies
The efficiency is the ratio that exists between
consumed energy (gas or electricity) and energy
converted into heat. Large differences exist between
induction, range-top appliance, and other cooking
modes. These efficiencies may vary depending on
the diameter and quality of the container used.
2.2. - Exceptional high speed
Thanks to the available power and high efficiency, this hob is much more rapid than an electrical or gas
hob. Time necessary to increase the temperature of two litres of water from 20°C to 95°C:
2.3. - Savings
Removing the container from a source is sufficient to stop the cooking immediately, there is no energy
waste. As long as there is no container on a source, the source does not heat, the power indicator
lights are flashing. This hob consumes thus much less energy than hobs fitted with traditional gas or
electricity hobs.
2.4. - Information
Very flexible to use, it reacts instantaneously to controls. The power available on a source can vary
from 50 to 2800 W (and more in certain cases!)
2.5. - Safety
The induction principle makes that heat is produced directly in the container. The temperature of the
glass top is much lower and risk of burn is reduced, especially for children. Return to 6C after
boiling of one litre of water:

3 - THE SAUCEPANS
3.1. - Compatible containers
Induction requires appropriate saucepans.
As cooking is performed by magnetic field, conductive materials are necessary. A simple means is
used to check whether an implement is compatible or not: A magnet should stick to the bottom.
During cooking, some pans can emit some noise (jangling). This is normal and due to the magnetic
field. There is no risk, neither for the hob, nor for the pan.
The containers compatible with the induction are:
Containers in enamelled steel with or without non-stick coating.
- Advantages:
Compatibility guaranteed with induction (good efficiency)
Low noise.
Wide range of cooking possible.
- Disadvantages:
Worse heat distribution pan diameters < 230mm.
Cleaning is more difficult.
Bad reaction if the pan is empty bottom distortion, possible breaking of the enamel
Cast-iron containers with or without enamelled bottom.
- Advantages :
Compatibility guaranteed with induction (good efficiency)
Good heat distribution (with low cooking power).
Reduced noise of the pan.
Easy cleaning
Good to cook lovingly
- Disadvantages :
The non enamelled bottom may scratch the glass.
Bad reaction if the pan is empty Cast iron doesn’t move but can break.
Please note: Do a preheating systematically before a full power cooking
Certain containers in stainless steel: multilayer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel. Most
stainless steel containers are suitable if they pass the magnet test. (Saucepans, stew pots, frying
pans, deep fryers...).
- Advantages :
Very good heat distribution (For the pan with a stuck bottom).
Good reaction if the pan is empty --> Stainless steel becomes blue
Easy to clean.
Wide range of cooking.

COOKWARE
- Disadvantage :
Bad heat distribution (For the pan without a stuck bottom).
Compatibility is not always guaranteed: Some stainless steels give bad results.
When the hob recognizes a poor reaction of the pan, the power is automatically reduced.
Advice: Use an enamelled pan to do some tests
The pan is noisier.
Aluminium containers with special bottoms.
Aluminium containers are used more and more. Unfortunately, the quality and the thickness of the
stainless steel are not always good.
Containers with a thick flat base for uniform cooking have to be decided upon (heat is better distributed).
Glass, earthenware, ceramic, copper and aluminium containers
without special bottoms are not compatible.
Choose, if possible, containers with very thick bottoms.
Avoid any containers with rough (non-enamelled cast iron for example)
or dented bottoms that might scratch the plate.
Don't pull the containers, put them down.
3.2. - Class induction
A "CLASS INDUCTION" marking, mark of excellence, appears on the hob.
By choosing a container bearing the same logo, the consumer will make
sure of the perfect compatibility with his/her induction hob, under normal
operating conditions.
To help the consumer pick, a list of implements tested and approved is appended to the user manual.

A minimum dimension must be measured from the rear and side walls.
Protection of cut sections: The particle wood used to make the work tops swells relatively quickly
when coming into contact with humidity. Varnish or special adhesive should be applied to the edge of
the cut out to protect it from steam or condensation that could appear below the work top.
A joint provides the seal with the worktop. It should be glued below the edges of the hob.
After the work top has been cut out and the seal around the hob has been installed, place the hob
directly into its position. The vitroceramic top should rest on the edges of the work top in contact with
the seal. (Do not use mounting brackets to secure the hob. This could cause mechanical stress and
damage to the vitroceramic top).

- If the display remains steady, your cookware is compatible.
- If the display flashes, your cookware is not compatible with induction cooking.
Magnet test: If a magnet sticks to the base of the cooking vessel, it is compatible.
Do not place any lids on the hob. It could be treated as a cooking vessel.
Do not place cooking vessels touching each other, otherwise they may not be recognized by the
hob (advised distance: 4cm).
6.3.9. - "Small Items" safety
A small pan, a fork, a spoon or a ring left on the hob is not detected as a piece of cookware. The
display flashes and no heat is produced.
6.3.10. - Pacemakers and active implants
The hob operates in compliance with currently applicable standards concerning electromagnetic
disturbances. Thus the induction cooking hob perfectly satisfies all legal requirements (89/336/EEC
directives). It was designed not to disturb the functioning of other electrical appliances so long as they
are also compliant with these same regulations. An induction hob generates magnetic fields in its
immediate surroundings.
In order to avoid interference with a pacemaker, the pacemaker must be designed in compliance with the
regulations that apply to it. For all information regarding the compliance or otherwise of a pacemaker, the
consumer should contact the manufacturer or general practitioner.
6.3.11. - Temperature limiter
Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety sensor that constantly monitors the temperature of the
bottom of the cookware. The purpose is to protect the user and the hob from abnormal operations, for
example, heating an empty pan.
The principle of this safety mechanism is to check constantly the temperature of the base of the vessel
with a sensor (NTC) fitted below the vitroceramic so as to adjust the power and stabilise the
temperature at 300°C . This temperature is programmed as it is below the degradation limit of PTFE
(Non-stick coating of market utensils). Degradation is observed from 340/350°C.

6.4. - “RoHS” standard
Since June 2006, the electronics cards fitted to induction hobs have met the RoHS standard.
Many electrical and electronic devices may contain dangerous substances targeted by the “RoHS”
European directive (restriction of the use of substances that are harmful to the environment).
The European directive 2002/95/EC transposed to French law through the decree DEEE 2005-829 of
20th July 2005, as from 1st July 2006 strictly limits the use of 4 heavy metals (lead, cadmium,
chrome, mercury) and two brominated flame retardants (PBB = polybrominated biphenyls and PBDE
= polybrominated diphenyl ethers) in the manufacture of 8 categories of electrical and electronic
equipment.
6.5. - Maintenance
Vitroceramic is a silica-based glassy material that does not
expand like glass. Its dimensions hardly alter until 750°C
since a portion of the molecules contained in it expand with
heat, whilst an equal number contract. One of the
characteristics of this material is that it is a poor heat
conductor, hence it limits heat loss.
The smooth surface of the vitroceramic and the touch-sensitive controls facilitate cleaning.
Difficulties encountered in cleaning radiant and halogen zones do not generally apply to induction hobs
in view of the low temperatures reached by the hob. However, a pan with a wet base placed on the
cooking zone will leave limescale marks. Sugary splatters must be cleaned immediately as it will
caramelise when in contact with the hot vitroceramic. As it cools, it contracts and damages the surface.
Finally, the vitroceramic hob is not a work surface and therefore is easily scratched.
Do not leave dirt on the hot surface
Sugar-based marks and splatters should be removed immediately as they can damage the
vitroceramic
Do not rub surface with abrasives
Do not use the cooking hob as a work surface
Never leave paper or aluminium containers on the cooking area
Avoid sliding the cookware as this could cause scratch marks (Be careful of grit, etc.)
Avoid knocking the edge of the vitroceramic top or the touch-screen glass as these could break.
Cleaning products
Burnt fat on the top of the vitroceramic may be easily cleaned using specific products approved and
handled by the After Sales Service:

7.1. - Summary
The MATRIX hob consists of a filter board to which are connected the two power supply cables. The
filter board supplies the three power boards with 230V
~
and the control board unit with 3V- and 12V-.
The control unit is made up of a screen, a faceplate, a keypad card and a master card that inter-
communicate. Information regarding the temperature, power and safety functions of the three power
boards is passed to the control unit managing them.
7.2. - Touch screen
The touch screen is based on capacitive technology:
An indium-based, rare metal sheet, is placed below the glass of
the touch pad. A steady current is diffused across the surface
of the screen by four electrodes placed at the corners. When
the user touches the screen, part of the current is absorbed by
the finger. The contact point is then calculated in relation to the
value of the current at the four corners of this screen. It is
possible to measure and determine the coordinates of the
contact point at any time using a keypad card that processes all
the data.

7.3. - Filtering
The mechanism can generate a large amount of high frequency interference. To ensure a minimum
level of interference, a large filtering device is used. It enables induction hobs to become
environmentally-friendly devices whose level of interference is lower than that of a television set.
The MATRIX hob filter is a board found at the supply inlet. This filter board carries out several tasks
and its components are adapted in relation to their task:
They protect against operational over-intensity
They eliminate incoming and outgoing interference
They eliminate power surges (voltage peaks)
They authorise the supply to the generators and are controlled by the control board.
For this, the same components are nearly always used: Filter capacitors, fuse(s), VDR, high
inductance induction coil, control relay and an essential earth connection.
The VDRs (Voltage Dependent Resistor) become busy at 275 or 420 Volts (depending on the
model) and protect against overvoltage of components that are situated on the same supply.
The fuse preventing excess currents works using a restrictor on the board track (fuse track).
There are actually two 16A series fuses.
The induction coils act as “buffers”, only allowing low frequencies through. Their action is
supplemented by the capacitors whose value changes in relation to the assembly.
The earth connection made by a screw and a combination of capacitors, helps to remove the
“residual” high frequency interference.
The filter retaining screw has a vital role. It is essential that it is
replaced when work is carried out.

7.3.1. - Structure of the filter board
7.4. - Rectifier
To supply the inductors, a high frequency must be applied to them. To increase from 50Hz to 38KHz, the
supply voltage must first be rectified using a diode bridge (Graëtz). A 3µF filter capacitor is linked in order
to attenuate the high frequency signals and to smooth the output voltage of the rectifier. As shown in the
illustration, the rectifier output voltage is approximately the voltage of the supply peak (or around 325V –
when no inductor is supplied). This voltage drops during operation.
7.5. - Inverter
The inverter helps to transform a continuous signal into an
adjustable frequency alternating signal. This inverter (new
typology) is made up of a single IGBT and a resonance
capacitor. The freewheeling diode is built into the IGBT
transistor.
The transistor is controlled by a generator whose frequency
varies between 28 kHz and 38 kHz depending on the power
required.

For the MATRIX hob, the power stage is made to operate at high frequencies and voltages. The transistors
heat up rapidly. The purpose of the fans and the radiator on the power board is to cool the electronics,
particularly the IGBT transistors.
Operation of the inverter
The operation of the inverter on the MATRIX hob is totally different from that of the old generation induction
hob. The power board is equipped to drive twelve inductors. It can control several inductors at the same time
and can offer different power levels.
Each inverter drives an inverter. This new configuration operates as follows:
Phase 0
Idle
The transistor behaves like an open switch.
There is no voltage to the inductor and
capacitor terminals. The transistor is not
controlled.
The capacitor is parallel to the inductor.
C
Diode
Transistor
Phase 1
The transistor is controlled and behaves like a
closed switch.
A current therefore passes through the
inductor via the closed transistor up to
maximum voltage.
The capacitor is loaded.
Phase 2
Positive half-wave
The transistor is blocked (transistor open) and
the inductor forces the current into the
capacitor which is parallel.
This phase ends when all the energy stored in
the inductor has been completely transferred
into the capacitor.
When this happens, the assembly goes
through 0.
Phase 3
Negative half-wave
The energy stored in the capacitor is sent to
the inductor.
The transistor is still open. The diode blocks
the current which moves in the opposite
direction to the inductor.
When the current passes through 0, another
cycle starts up (return to phase 1).
Available power
The power is distributed according to the number of inductors used. Each inductor is able to supply
a maximum of 900 Watts, according naturally to the quality of the material and the diameter of the
cooking vessel.
When several inductors are used, they are controlled in accordance with the power requested and
alternately or at the same time depending on the instantaneous power available (3600) through the
generator.
The power of the inductor changes in accordance with the frequency: 38Khz for 300W to 28Khz for
3600W. Below 300W, variations are made in switched mode (on-off).

OPERATION
7.6. - Current transformer (cookware recognition)
On the MATRIX board, each power line is fitted with a current transformer. This helps to detect the
presence of cookware or small item.
The current transformer delivers a current to the secondary that is proportional to the primary. When a
vessel is put on the cooking area, the magnetic field is closed and the electronics decide to supply the
inductor and generate power.
The transformer in series with the inductor delivers a current to the primary and generates a
proportional current to the secondary. This current is sent to the microcontroller for interpretation.
Current analysis
Analysis and interpretation of the current by the microprocessor.
Weak secondary current:
- Cookware of diameter less than 100 mm
- Small item, knife, fork, etc.
The electronics do not
authorise heating and display a
flashing question mark.
Secondary current too great:
- The material of the base of the vessel is not suitable or
incompatible.
The electronics do not authorise heating and display a
flashing question mark.
Secondary current compliant:
The electronics authorise heating and display
a cross on the keypad.
Vessel detected with optimum heating result.
Pan detected with non optimum heating result (heating area limit or low efficiency vessel
or too small a diameter); in this case, a flashing sign is displayed.
Search noises or detection of cookware: “repeated clicking”. The “pan position” check is
carried out every 2 minutes.

Description Function Characteristics
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor is a NTC resistor.
Its function is to detect any overheating of
a pan particularly where the pan is empty
(no heat dissipation)
In the event of overheating, load shedding
occurs through the power board until the
cooking area has reached a moderate
temperature. This load shedding is
transparent for the user.
The temperature sensor is not used for
detecting the presence of a cooking
vessel.
The NTC is housed in a rubber support
placed at the centre of the three inductors.
It is connected to the edge of the power
board.
Value: 110 k at 25°C
Check that each NTC is correctly
positioned.
FAN
Cools the electronic components situated
in the hob.
Note: the supply voltage of the fan varies
according to the temperature detected by
the NTC1 of the power board.
- 8V for 60°C
- 12V for 80
Reminder: the temperature indicated by
the power board NTCs is not the ambient
temperature of the product but the
temperature on the copper.
They are situated next to the diode bridge
and next to the microprocessor. NTC1
and 2 = 2.5K at 25°C
Power supply: 12 Volts - continuous
Amperage: 0.30 A
SILICONE MOUNTINGS
Silicone mountings placed on the centring
pins act as buffers for the inductor plate.
They help to hold the plate and inductors
correctly against the vitroceramic top so
as to obtain the best level of power.
(Risk of breakage when reassembling the
vitroceramic top).
